Tuna Salad
This really does remind me of tuna salad, in both texture and appearance! It's quick and easy to make, and great stuffed into romaine lettuce wraps. Very flavorful, but delicately so. Juicy, sweet, and savory, just like tuna salad should be! Great for a snack or light lunch. It's delicious and filling, but not SUPER long-term satisfying, if you're needing something like that. Would make a good appetizer or light tea time snack for small informal gatherings where you just want a light finger food to munch on nonchalantly over conversation.
Don't skimp on the dulse flakes ;)
A fun presentation is to stuff this into tulip blossoms and serve with white rose tea or green marigold tea
Eggplant bacon
This bacon taste and looks very similar to bacon (like the veggie substitute by morning star). It's salty, spicy, and sweet. It takes forever to get crispy but very dry is still excellent simply tear into bite size pieces and add to sandwich.
notofu steaks.
a great meaty alternative that tastes better than grilled tofu! these 'grilled' steaks are great with any side dish!
Grilled Cheese Veggie Sandwich
This recipe was inspired by gratefultobe who mentioned that she made a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato and basil. i just added the eggplant slices and extra veggies- still alive, not feeling woozy, don't have funny tummy, so i guess it is ok to eat eggplant raw as previously discussed. i'm sure you guys will have some great variations on this. i found one sandwich filling.
Potassium blast (eggplant smoothie)
A simple, three-ingredient smoothie. I have not explored any of the other delightful, additional things that could be added (e.g. dates, pears, etc) - but I am sure that someone will try it and let us know!!
In addition to tasting good, it is also supposed to be super good for you..Aubergines are supposed to be packed with potassium, and also good for cholesterol, blood sugar and hypertension. Study from "National Institutes of
Health"
